RDX 0-60 boom??
#5
I only use paddle shifters when needed (IE going up a hill and I want a lower gear) or starting out in 2nd gear (slippery roads)
Using the paddles or letting the auto shift on it's own = no difference in time 0-60.

By the time your brain decides it's time to shift and sends the signal to your finger tips to pull on the paddle shifter followed by the lag time associated with paddle shift automatics, the guy next to you in the identical vehicle but in sport mode will be 1/2 a car length ahead of you.

My case, my 2005 GTO, the 4spd automatic transmission is 1/10th of a second faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile than the 6spd manual. Part of that is because the 1st gear in the automatic has a better ratio than 1st gear in the 6spd manual.
Stock GTO automatic is 4.6 seconds, stock GTO manual shift is 4.7 seconds.

My Infiniti has far faster response when manually shifting the auto.

Yes, but the Acura is one of the worst lags out there. My infiniti is night and day, almost no lag, compared to the Acura. Even the Audi I drove, far better.

^ I don't think it's slow at all.....and it shifts just fine for what it is.... I have noticed that the 6spd sifts differently at WOT vs lower throttle settings. WOT that thing shifts much quicker compared to partial throttle shifting where the shifts are slower and butter smooth (rev matching?) I would not exactly call the paddles Sport Shift but alas that is Acura's marketing term from when they first started using the system.

Blame the Feds and their silly EPA regulations for gas mileage... you really got to lay into the throttle for it to shift at a higher point and I agree, it sux...

Depends what you are used to. But after driving infinitis, audi, bmw's. The Acura RDX paddle shifters have by far the worst lag/delay. When you are in sport mode and 1st gear, the RDx up shifts into 2nd gear way too early. What is the pint of manual mode in 1st gear? Lol. No e of the other brands i mentioned do that.
